Providing authority for management companies and their employees to record statutory liens and appear in small claims court on behalf of the association

Consolidated association filing with the Corporation Commission

Rental unit information disclosure and associated fees, and

Refunding petitioner filing fees if the petition is dismissed prior to a hearing being scheduled
